Baizhan explained calmly. Huotao couldn’t think of a reason to object. Taibai Trading Centre had established a solid relationship with the Fighting Dragons Sect. No one dared to offend Baizhan by challenging his opinion.
“Thank you for your reminder, minister.” Huotao bowed slightly to him. Then he continued, “I would like to know why brother Xuanyuan robbed sister Bifu of her possessions? You also violated the laws of the sect by doing so.”
Xuanyuan smiled. Huotao wanted a legitimate reason to kill him so Fung Lie wouldn’t be able to seek revenge, but he was trying to fabricate crimes.
“Then you should ask sister Bifu. She led a few inner disciples to kidnap sister Liu Xiangxiang into the forest outside of the Inner Hall. She ordered them to rape and kill her. I found it very disturbing so I saved Xiangxiang and taught a lesson to sister Bifu.”
“I’ll kill you, Xuanyuan!” Bifu pointed her finger at him and screamed, “Brother Huotao, he is lying! I wouldn’t do such a thing! You can ask these two disciples, they saw everything. Xuanyuan robbed me!”
“That’s right. We saw it happen.” They were both guards from the Bi Family. Everyone knew that they were ordered to condemn Xuanyuan.
“Brother Xuanyuan, we have witnesses here. Is there anything you want to say?” Huotao smiled cruelly. He was holding a gourd with a powerful fire burning inside. It was an instrument much more destructive than Lu Yuxiang’s fan.
“You are doing everything in your power to frame me. What else is there to say? Cut your bullshit. Let’s see if you have the power to kill me.” Xuanyuan pointed his Wind Spirit spear at them, arrogantly looking down on them.
“Zhao Manfeng helped him. He needs to die as well.” Bifu was satisfied. She was angry that Zhao Manfeng was on Xuanyuan’s side.
Zhao Manfeng took out his token and held it towards Huotao. “I am an esteemed elder of the sect. If you want to prosecute me, you’ll need approval from the head and other elders. Should I summon them all here?”
Everyone, including Huotao, was shocked. But he reacted very quickly, “Congratulations on your promotion, Elder Zhao. I would recommend you to step aside while I prosecute the guilty party.”
Zhao Manfeng wanted to say something but Xuanyuan stopped him, “Let him come.”
Zhao Manfeng had to move aside. He was too weak to interfere.
Bifu looked venomous. The people who stood beside her all released their Qi towards Xuanyuan. However, before anything hit him, Xuanyuan disappeared.
“Dustless Helmet! He can shield his aura, be careful.” Huotao immediately recognized the instrument.
